Even our trees here near the beach got the memo that it's time for fall. I am so happy it's fall. It's my most favorite time of the year. I love the craft sales and scads of pumpkins at the Farmer's Market. There is always something fun going on every weekend.

Hi Farmgirl! This is my first comment, but I have been loving your website. You are living one version of my ideal life! But believe me I know how much work it is. I visited Missouri in the Springfield area many years ago and fell in love with it. Like you I was born and raised in California. Do you get the two questions I ALWAYS got from the folks in Missouri, on hearing I was from California "Do you surf?" and "Aren't you scared of earthquakes?" They were sure if you were from California you were a surfer! (I was not.)I think of retiring in Missouri and getting my farm then. Any tips?

Hi Vickie,I do believe you were one of those who ordered more fall color. : )

Hi AverysMom,Oh, the chickens have had their blog time alright. (And I'm sure they'll have more.) In the meantime, click here for a post that is cluck full of links to other priceless poultry moments.

Hi Nancy,So glad you came out of hiding to say hello! Surprisingly enough, I can't recall ever being asked the surfing question--or the earthquake question now that I think about it. (There also happens to be a big fault in Missouri though there aren't frequent earthquakes here like in CA). The question I get asked most when people find out I am from California is "Why in the world did you move here?"

I wonder if you realize how many people are living their country girl fantasies, vicariously-through you!

Thank you for sharing your life, your photos, your writing, and the beautiful, beautiful lil' sheep that I just want to eat up! Oh no, wrong choice of words.....not eat up as in lambchops! Just eat up as in cuddle and love and let live in my backyard!!!

I thought that you might be interested that your blog was mentioned at the 'Life After the Oil Crash' in his Section VIII. Preparation and Relocalization' at: http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/BreakingNews.html

I have no idea how the author found you but you now have a much greater audience than you imagined.

That is just such a gorgeous photo..the colors are very soothing to the eye and warming for the spirit. I shall visit again soon..oh, and my baby girls love the photos as I scrolled down through your site..the heart shaped rocks, the Llama and the fashion conscious Ram, LOL. :)

January 2013 update: I know word verification is a big pain, but it's the only way I can stop the ridiculous number of anonymous spam comments I get every day. I don't want to require commenters to be registered Blogger or Open ID users because I know many of you aren't. Thanks so much for your understanding!
